Hello i have been looking around some posts asking an alternative to the software Medal. Which allow you to save a replay of your games.

I am using linux for about 2 years now and I have switched to gpu recording for the replay part.

Although the auto upload part is missing when I want to share the replay to my mates on discord for instance.

Because with medal you can ask to upload the replay on their server and it generate a link. Even more you can have a discord bot that post the video to associated discord server's channel. Before uploading the software was also providing a basic video editor to make incrustation of meme or music etc...

It is that upload part that I feel missing. So ok I could make a script to upload the replay to YouTube afterward. But I don't want to go to deep into youtube API, or maybe I'll search another platform to upload to if no alternative is found, like Dailymotion.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH I feel like I have scoured every online resource I can find and still no luck. I have asked several strangers for help and they all eventually give up.

My problems essentially boil down to the following: When I run games, my cursor escapes any time I move my mouse towards my second monitor (ie left, in a dual-monitor setup), or aforementioned games simply refuse to launch.

I am trying to play primarily Valve's Deadlock and Embark's Arc Raiders. Arc Raiders has no problem launching, but it seems to flip between either allowing my cursor to escape OR not allowing me to interact with menus.

Deadlock simply allows my cursor to escape, but here's where gamescope comes into play; I set my launch options to: "gamescope -W 2160 -H 1440 -r 179.877 -f --force-grab-cursor --backend wayland %command%", which should fix things, but then the game refuses to launch until I allow it to let go of my cursor.

I have tried so many different configurations of those launch options (various different backends, forcing fullscreen and then not doing so, including the resolution and refresh rate parameters and then not doing so). Nothing works.

I am on a completely fresh install of Cachy OS, with Niri and Noctalia, and the most frustrating part is that I was running this exact config with no issues until I bricked my last install through sheer incompetence.

I'm close to just disabling my second monitor whenever I play games, but that is so far from ideal and would be likely just as frustrating for me, despite the fact that these games might finally work.

I am relatively new to Linux, though definitely not a complete beginner, and any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the wall of text, I'm kinda hoping for a miracle.

PS: so far I have only been using gamescope with Deadlock, so it's possible that it could fix my issues with Arc raiders, but I highly doubt it with just how convoluted this whole process has been, and how uncooperative my system has been. (basically I've done more tinkering with/care a little bit more about Deadlock)

Ive been interested in trying Linux for gaming but I keep running into the issue that I get get a distro that either supports secure boot OR has good Nvidia drivers, but seemingly not both. Id prefer to not have to enable/disable secure boot every single time I switch operating systems and I would like to have some semblance of performance with my gpu. However based on what I've seen, most distros have Nvidia drivers that cause noticeably worse performance than windows drivers. This leads me to wonder, is it even worth looking any deeper into trying Linux gaming if its going to be a direct downgrade in performance (Based on what Ive seen)?

P.S. This isnt me taking down on Linux, I just have an honest concern on if Linux is the best thing for me.

I'm thinking of picking up a used PS5 for exclusives that are not available on Steam and for the occasional multiplayer titles that require anticheat. Are there any preferred capture cards that work OOTB with OBS on Linux? Are any of you bros doing it?

I've beem playing mgs V from Steam on mint for a while now. Then I got a mechanical keyboard with a volume knob from Keychron. Only this game reads the volumeknovb as a mouse pointer and a joystick and make the camera look at the zenith and the "front buttom to be constantly pressed". This resultskon all menus being constantly scrolled up and snake runningaround while looking up. Being a Linux noob I used chattgpt to guide me. Deactivated the knob completely by making the pc not see the joystick/mouse devices of the keyboard. Didn't work. Added a script on mgsv through steam to make it read only specific devices, didn't work. Added a script on linux todeactivate these devices on MGSV start up. Didn't work. At the end Chat told me that on Linux games running on the FOX engine read all devices natively and I can do nothing but getting another keyboads. Doea anyone have an idea for a fix?

Edit: I've heard of wine but I'm not sure what it is and I haven't installed/used it so far as the proton layer has been doing and excellent job with any other game.

This might be a silly question, but everyone that posts screenshot of their fastfetch has and amd cpu. At first I thought it was because of compatibility issues, just like nvidia drivers, but after using my Intel pc with an 11th Gen i9 I have not noticed a single compatibility issue or any other kind of instability. Not only, I've even tried linux on a 4th Gen i7, a 3rd Gen i3 and going all the way down to a 1st get i7 and i5. 0 issues, 0 instability, just pure enjoying. the real deal has always been nvidia, and this is why I switched to a Radeon gpu a couple weeks ago. Again, sorry if it's a silly question but I never understood what's better with amd or if this is just a user choice.

Hello, I using Fedora 43 Workstation, and playing games using Big Picture mode in Steam.

When the game is open, the Steam overlay doesn't open, or rather, it opens but not over the game. Only disabling "GPU web page rendering" helps. The strangest thing is that this problem doesn't exist on KDE. How can I get it to work on Gnome with acceleration enabled?

Apologies if this isn't the right sub to ask on, but as the heading states, I'm having issues with the side buttons on my Razer Naga.

I've found an unresolved post on a github page with someone else having the same issues about six months ago and have tried executing a command from the post to put the device in "driver mode" which is:

echo -n -e "\x03\x00" > /sys/bus/hid/drivers/razermouse/0003:1532:00B4.0001/device_mode

This in fact got it to work, and I'm able to use the side buttons. However, when my mouse is turned off or goes to sleep, I'm faced with the same issue as it seems to reset itself.

The command is a band-aid fix and I'd rather not execute it repetitively, so I was wondering if there was a way to make it persistent? Appreciate the help in advance!

Hi, I'm a newbie!

A couple of days ago I installed Arch Linux. Previously in Windows 11 I used to play Minecraft using the “bypass” method (English is not my first language, i'm not really sure how to call it...): you run the demo version of the game, view the command line with Process Explorer, copy it, and then create your own .bat file by removing “DEMO” and the necessary key instances.

I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing in Linux. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I'm not sure how or where else to do so-

I am planning to purchase Jedi Fallen Order. I was thinking of avoiding any DRM conflicts if I purchase through the EA app. But what about Linux compatability, will Steam be better? Thanks for reading.

Hey all, recently downloaded Bazzite (KDE) is there anyway to boost the saturation/vibrance like through adrenaline on windows? (AMD GPU)

So this is an odd question, but I have a 9060 XT. I used to have a 3060, had it for 5 months to be exact and DLSS 4, not 3, 4, just doesn't look as good as FSR4 does, and FSR4 AA looks sharper. FSR4 Ultra Performance for example just looks significantly more like "yeah, that can look like 1080p to the untrained eye", on par if not better than DLSS L.

And I know many people will say that it is on par with DLSS 4 and that of course it'll look better in certain scenarios, or how it upscales may just be more pleasing to my eyes.

I can't go back and test DLSS as I'm in the process of selling my 3060. I already thought DLSS 4.5 looked pretty good too, so I'm not saying DLSS looks bad. But I'm just curious given how many reviewers and individuals say FSR4 is on par with 4 and a bit worse than 4.5.

The only reason I've had to keep Windows 11 has been gaming, but I just can't anymore. I'm switching to Linux gaming within the month, likely within the next two weeks. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I am thinking either Bazzite or CachyOS.

There's only two minor issues. One, I have never gotten WINE to work every time I tried it (I've used Ubuntu for years). And two, the games I want to be able to play have proprietary launchers. I play WoW and Warframe with my son, and Cyberpunk 2077 on my own. Everything else I want Steam is more than adequate for. So WINE and Proton seem inevitable in my future.

I'm no noob to Linux, but I feel like one to Linux gaming. So I ask for help/advice. Which OS is better for performance (especially with NVIDIA), WINE setup, and any launchers that have been written for Linux for the three mentioned games.

I know I am leaning on the community, and that I will have to learn. I just... I can't with Windows any longer. Help?

So I found out the other day that I could have 1 massive game folder that goes across all of my drives using mergerfs.

I have games on my nvme ssd, a raid 0 array, and an external ssd usb drive. Managing three different library locations in Lutris/Steam is a headache, and moving games between drives usually means updating paths and breaking shortcuts.

Using mergerfs I set up a "Union Mount" that takes all three locations and merges them into a single folder in my home directory "/home/Games". To the OS and my launchers, it looks like one giant drive.

It was simple as hell to set up just install mergerfs, and then update the fstab file.
